Kylie Kelce Makes Philly School's Lincoln Financial Field Trip Happen
Penn Treaty High School teacher Bonnie Giberson pleaded on TikTok for someone to help get her kids to the Linc. Then Kylie Kelce stepped in.
PHILADELPHIA — A group of Philadelphia high schoolers is getting the field trip of a lifetime thanks to Philly royalty: Kylie Kelce.
Penn Treaty High School teacher Bonnie Giberson took to TikTok in an effort to find a way to get her kids to Lincoln Financial Field for a trip.
"I’m supposed to take my high school seniors on a field trip there this Thursday the 19th," Giberson said in her TikTok post. "We love the Eagles, we bond over them, we talk about every game. Most of my students can’t afford to pay for the field trip, which is how I cover the cost of the bus. And if I can’t figure something out by tomorrow, Tuesday, I have to cancel the field trip. Please, just help us. It would be a Christmas miracle."

Giberson said she got a call at her school, and was connected with Kelce herself.
The Main Line native, mother of three with another on the way, Eagles Autism Foundation supporter, former Lower Merion High School field hockey coach, and now podcaster offered to pay for all of Giberson's students to visit the Linc, and offered to pay for the bussing, as well.
With Kelce's offer, the trip became totally free for her students to attend.
Giberson ended her video by saying, "go Birds 'til I die, shoutout to Kylie for making this such an experience for my student and I'll see you at the Cowboys."
